Sydney together
Hi all,
how many of US will be in Sydney? We must try to snatch some time away for a drink or two. Anyone bringing their spouses? I am.
It will be fun, and exciting, and empowering!

Oh, bugga!!!! So sorry to hear some of our buddies won't be there :( with us in October. We look forward to getting together soooo... much, i think it gives us a special kind of strength to know we have such special friends. We may all be spread to the far corners of the country, but the connecting thread is felt by us all. All of you girls give so much of yourselves to others, sometimes it is nice to have a special treat to look forward to, such as the BCNA events. My love and best wishes to everyone, I too will be sending Lee my support through our special connecting thread. XXX ANN
Lee I can imagine how you must be feeling .... I was worried for a while I wasn't going to be able to make it after my dramas in May and I was devastated. Things have looked up however and I am incontrol of the apparatus and monitoring what I eat (though there are times that willpower goes to sleep and greed takes over). My 6 months are up in October but I told the specialist surgery would have to wait till November because I was busy in Oct. He just laughe and said that's ok !!!
The most important thing now is concentrate on yourself ... after all YOU are your number one prioity at the moment. You'll come thru this with flying colours .... you'll have all of us in your corner ... supporting you like some demented cheer squad!!!! The thought and vision of that is a bit scary isn't it but I know your reading this and laughing.
I've marked Sept 26 on the calender and will be sending out positive vibes your way. Take care and try not to worry too much - I know that's easy for me to say but will be thinking of you

- Hi Ladies. I just let Marita know, via email, that sadly, crapily, I'm not going to be able to make Sydney. I'll be 4 weeks post-op. I think you know I found out I have brca1 mutation and was due for bilateral mastectomy with recon last Wednesday. Due to Pneumonia it has been put off untill September 26. I'm having the tissue expanders and lat dorsi. I can't explain Properly how upset I am to miss the conference and to miss seeing you girls, my gorgeous, special bcna buddies. Bcna and breast cancer brought us together and it really hurts to be unable to be there with you. Tomorrow I get back fna result from a breast lump. Ultrasound wasn't alarming but I needed to make sure when I found out That surgery was to be postponed. I'll let you know. I want to know EVERYthing you get up to. Xxxxxxxxx
I am ceratinly in for dinner Wednesday. Not sure where I have been put yet, we can contact each other via mobile when there, Mine is 0400 800 499 xx
Hi there Mandy, yes we are in ...."we" being Leonie, Ros, Ann, Kerry, Nic, hopefully Moira and Lee and of course the two of us !!!! Ros and I were thinking somewhere Wednesday night depending when everyone arrives. Where are you staying? ... Got my accom advice - a "share" room at Metro Hotel Sydney Central Pitt Street. Hope it's fairly close to where the conference is ... be terrible to get lost :)
Hope you are enjoying your break
Luv Shirl x0x
